"I Hate The Future"a Hook & DrumBum original for FutureFest (a little late)

[Hook]

So this took me a little longer than I expected it to. I wrote it a week before FutureFest ended. I sent it to DrumBum (2nd tune I've sent him) and he quickly got me a drum part. I have been battling life so it took me a little while to get this done. My parts done in the car, I assume his drum part was not. Thanks for the extension 64!
1 uke/vocal (stereo)
2 drum tracks (stereo)
1 U bass
1 Pipa (garage band instrument)

I Hate The Future

written & performed by Hook
drums performed & engineered by DrumBum

I hate the future
& what it might bring
I hate the sorrow
That coats everything
Cant stand uncertainty
& its everywhere
Another day without you
Is more than I can bear

I hate the future
It seems empty and sad
I hate this hole in my I heart
That I didn't use to have
I hate facing the fact
That you've really walked away
I hate that tomorrow
Is gonna be just like today

Cause
Every single day
Is just another single day
That I don't get to see you
& all I want to do
Are things I just shouldn't do
Because I know you don't want me to

I hate the future
& I hate that I do
I miss the optimistic attitude
That since has turned blue
I hate the missing
Not knowing what is up with you
And I hate that I might have
  disliked any moment in the past
     that I might have had with you

First, not an easy song, ... respect to both of you.
Second, I feel the lyric.
3rd, I really dig the song.

I hear some orient vibes here...works nicely!

Excellent drumming by DrumBum - it's fine to hear real drumming!

[Ella]

I love this! Love that rhythm and the way it changes. Great singing also Hook!

This is very different and clever. A really intriguing vibe in the combination of the ukes and the drum/percussion part, Drum Bum added a wonky twist to this one. Very heartfelt lyrics, a lot of pain in the Songcrafters world based on the songs I am listening to today. Very well put together as always, and I nearly spat my coffee on the keyboard when I read your comment about Drum Bum in the car (or not).

Another very original piece of music, well done.

Ferryman just to let you know, Hook is a good influence..!!

What a total awesome freakout, needs to be bumped!!! I'm opening up a time capsule from 2020 where the future was hated. Now it is 2023, three years into the future where minds have melded and our accomplishments have soared into the stratosphere! Eh, nope.

This is great!
